I have the feeling a bunch of knuckleheads are going to stick a post-it with a clever one-liner on their iPad 2's and return them with the hope of a free iPad2.

I have a 12" PowerBook and when I saw the new 13" MacBook, there is no comparison, Why are people waiting for a 12" ? Have you even seen the 13"?
it's a widescreen unlike the PB12... keep waiting, but it is not going to happen.
Anyhow, I have been waiting awhile for this upgrade, the store has been offline forever!!! Hurry apple.. My wallet is itching for one in black!!!
wahoooooo
i agree that there'll never be a 12" again, considering they've all gone widescreen. and as everyone noted, the 13" looks sweet, but its just not as portable. the wideness of it makes it more akward to hold than the 12" powerbook. im hoping they do release a 10" widescreen MBP next year. they'll definatly be stealing some Vaio engineers for that gig tho.

Yes almost every release in the Beatles era was intended for mono. Stereo releases were made years later and the wide effect was partly due to the fact that these songs were mastered from 2 tracks and because the music was recorded to one track and the vocals to the other, well there was no really other way to get stereo...
Not true.
The stereo mixes were contemporaneous with the mono releases...it's just that no one cared enough to put any thought into them.
Music is mastered from 2 track mixes (unless you're making surround masters, in which case you'd mix from 6 tracks or more). This hasnt changed to this day. Stereo was commerically available starting from the late 1950s, but almost no one had players that could handle it. So the mixes were done in mono, with stereo as an afterthought. For this reason, many of the mono mixes are superior to the stereo, although people now assume that the CD releases are the de facto standard, when in fact it was a conscious decision to release the stereo versions of every album from Help! onward.

I love the Hecho en China threads!
Every time, posters come out to support China and insult the US. They all use the same talking points:
US workers are lazy
Unions are evil
Regulations against pollution, etc are burdensome
An iPhone would cost $1000 or even more!
Taxes on rich people/corporations are too high.
Hmmm.....sponsored by our right wing, or by Foxcon?
You do understand that the right wing backbone is low income factory worker types in the so-called red states, right?

Hmmm...... If you look closely at the banner photo you'll see the "64-bit" logo is awfully close to the photo of the iMac. The current Intel iMacs are not 64-bit since the Core Duo (1) processers are 32-bit. Could this mean that the iMacs are going to get the new Core Duo 2 processers, which just happen to be 64-bit.
Same goes for the MacBook Pros

It makes sense for Apple to start selling the iPhone in September instead of June. The iPad updates around March, so 6 months later is September. They probably did that to ease the manufacturing and push more of that given product at that time of year.

yeah guys, cuz these arent old problems that have already been solved -- do you pay for calls to AT&T (or verizon) via your handset when you dial 411 (or whatever it is)? no. you dont.
so even if its not wifi-only, what makes you think they wouldnt apply the same sort of policy? support data is free.

I hope the Beatles catalog will include both versions. For example, the mono version of Blue Jay Way was much different than the stereo version, so I'll have to get both.
Again like the LOVE Album, they should also include a separate DVD mixed 5.1. disc. If you have not heard it that way, you will be astounded at how fresh it all sounds...

The local BB was listing all varieties in stock online a few hours ago. I was 3rd inline as the doors opened.
The dude says "We have NO iPad(2)s." - they have been showing iPad(1) on hand, and seem to have some around still at $100 off.
I consider this just folly, and borderline 'bait-and-switch'.
I wonder how many other stores have ZERO stock, especially after the rumor about conflict with Apple about stock being held back.
It doesn't really matter to me, my Apple online order is scheduled for delivery 10 days from now. I just wanted to see if there would be a line (I got inline about 5 min prior to doors opening) and what sort of inventory was on hand.
Now I know.

But it's also stupid because it rewards Brazil for its aggressive mercantilist policies. Other countries, particularly in Latin America, are likely to take note and follow. In fact, they'll be foolish if they don't.
So now Brazil is the one having "aggressive mercantilist policies"?
Why don't you talk about the US's egregiously illegal subsidies to its orange juice, steel and ethanol industries against Brazilian imports of the same products?
In case you don't know about them, just check WTO's website to see the rulings AND appeals that the US has continuously lost against Brazil. Or is it nice to have "free markets" only when you benefit from them?

Now I don't know what to do. I need an iPod that can hold all of my media (just my music alone is over 100 GB) so I can bring it with me wherever I go. (I hate having to choose a portion of my music instead of just grabbing it all.) But the MacRumors Buyer's Guide says not to buy - update soon. So is Apple going to kill it or release a new version? If I wait, I might miss out on getting one. But if I get one now, I might miss out on a better model. Ugh.

Heh, after checking all of my batteries are fine. darn! (or good)
was sort of hoping to get a free update on the battery. but to be honest. would be a waste of time, as i will probably buy one of the new macbook pro's soon.
whenever the new models are released.

A couple years ago, 4G meant LTE. Now it means HSPA+. I have no doubt that the next iPhone will be 4G capable, but it won't be LTE. I doubt that delaying the typical launch would have anything to do with including 4G.

i don't know why anyone is complaining that the MB wasn't upgraded to meet the specs of the MBP. we're talking entry level after all, and have to give apple something to justify the price differential to the pro. me, this is just what i was waiting for. c2d with added memory to boot. if i needed more features, graphics, etc., (*and if i could afford it) i'd buy the pro, but i don't. with this upgrade, i can finally retire my performa 6400/g3 sonnet, and have something that will serve me for many years. as soon as the store comes back up, i'm buying.
